| 20100275405 | AUTONOMOUS SURFACE CLEANING ROBOT FOR DRY CLEANING - An autonomous floor cleaning robot includes a transport drive and control system arranged for autonomous movement of the robot over a floor for performing cleaning operations. The robot chassis carries a first cleaning zone comprising cleaning elements arranged to suction loose particulates up from the cleaning surface and a second cleaning zone comprising cleaning elements arraigned to apply a cleaning fluid onto the surface and to thereafter collect the cleaning fluid up from the surface after it has been used to clean the surface. The robot chassis carries a supply of cleaning fluid and a waste container for storing waste materials collected up from the cleaning surface. | 11-04-2010 |

| 20080276408 | AUTONOMOUS COVERAGE ROBOT - A surface treatment robot includes a chassis having forward and rear ends and a drive system carried by the chassis. The drive system includes right and left driven wheels and is configured to maneuver the robot over a cleaning surface. The robot includes a vacuum assembly, a collection volume, a supply volume, an applicator, and a wetting element, each carried by the chassis. The wetting element engages the cleaning surface to distribute a cleaning liquid applied to the surface by the applicator. The wetting element distributes the cleaning liquid along at least a portion of the cleaning surface when the robot is driven in a forward direction. The wetting element is arranged substantially forward of a transverse axis defined by the right and left driven wheels, and the wetting element slidably supports at least about ten percent of the mass of the robot above the cleaning surface. | 11-13-2008 |
| 20090254218 | ROBOT CONFINEMENT - A robot lawmnower includes a body, a drive system carried by the body, at least one caster wheel supporting the body, a grass cutter carried by the body, a controller in communication with the drive system, and a bump sensor in communication with the controller. The controller is configured to maneuver the robot to turn in place and to redirect the robot in response to the bump sensor sensing contact with an obstacle. The drive system is configured to maneuver the robot across a lawn and includes differentially driven right and left drive wheels positioned rearward of a transverse center axis defined by the body. The at least one caster wheel is positioned substantially forward of the right and left drive wheels, and the grass cutter is positioned at least partially forward of the right and left drive wheels and at least partially behind the at least one caster wheel. | 10-08-2009 |

| 20080281470 | AUTONOMOUS COVERAGE ROBOT SENSING - An autonomous coverage robot detection system includes an emitter configured to emit a directed beam, a detector configured to detect the directed beam and a controller configured to direct the robot in response to a signal detected by the detector. In some examples, the detection system detects a stasis condition of the robot. In some examples, the detection system detects a wall and can follow the wall in response to the detected signal. | 11-13-2008 |

| 20090250941 | System and method of increasing the output energy of an electrical motor by transferring the output energy through a plurality of hydraulic networks to create a continuous electrical cycle - Today, the world is faced with an energy crisis. There are needs for improved ways to conserve energy, increase efficiency of present systems and create a new way of controlling energy. | 10-08-2009 |
| 20110138803 | System of Transferring and Storing Energy and Method of Use Thereof - A system of transferring energy and a method of use thereof, wherein the system and method utilize an energy source, a motor and a plurality of hydraulic networks of varying lengths to transfer energy to an energy output device, and wherein the energy transferred to the energy output device is selectively transferred to an external load, and wherein electromechanical interference is obviated. The system further provides for differing sizes of input hydraulic and output hydraulic networks to facilitate conformance to size constraints. | 06-16-2011 |
